We’re excited to share that the Foyer Federation has been chosen to take part in The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2021! What does this mean? From midday on Tuesday 30 November until midday Tuesday 7 December we will be raising funds for Talent Bonds for young people living in Foyers. Due to the generosity of our Big Give Champion, the Monday Charitable Trust, and our pledgers, any donation made in this week will be doubled!
The Christmas Challenge is the UK’s biggest digital match funding programme. Last year, we raised over £4,000 for young people living in Foyers and this year we want to do even more. Young people living in Foyers are full of ideas, talent and ambition. However, all too often they do not have access to the support they need to further those talents and ideas and to realise their ambitions. Talent Bonds provide small grants for specific items, training and other things that young people need to further their passion and pursue their chosen careers.
With the help of our amazing supporters, we hope to be able to provide 30 talent bonds in 2022 – our 30th Anniversary! Can you help 30 young people to achieve their power and their purpose?
Katherine Bates, Director of Development and Partnerships, explains “The Big Give is a huge opportunity for the Foyer Federation to support even more young people living in Foyers to realise their potential. We are incredibly grateful to our Champion funder and pledgers so far for their support. Donating during the Big Give will double your donation, meaning you support twice as many young people!”
We’ll be sharing more information soon. For now, save the week from 30 November in your diary. We go live on Giving Tuesday – 30 November 2021!
